Nora Gharib is an Egyptian-Ecuadorian, first-generation American artist based in Miami, FL with a background in architecture and interior design. Her paintings and work draws deeply from the beauty and serenity of Arabic calligraphy, merging language with abstraction. Her pieces often feature flowing lines of Arabic cursive, which she connects to the natural rhythm of breath, evoking a sense of calm and fluidity. Through this fusion of text and form, Nora’s art explores the profound feeling of understanding behind each phrase. Her work invites viewers to engage with the subtle elegance of language and the emotions it can evoke. Rooted in her cultural heritage, Nora’s pieces are a reflection of both personal and universal connections to the written word.

Nora is the founder of Gharib Studio, architectural design firm specializing in retail and hospitality design.
